Trying to get a good photo of my wrasse that finally came out of hiding, and my cyphastrea was showing off a little.

Perhaps an odd question, but, aside from “coral propagation tools” … how do you prevent the encrustables from taking over side panels?

also, I do not mean to hijack. So, feel free to tell me I’m not the captain.

No - all for the discussion! Good point. I’m not sure to be honest, but I think the scraper does do the job. Although obvious requires constant attention potentially.
